California Efficiency Requirement
Your water softener has a "High Efficiency" feature with an "ON" or "OFF" setting. This softener setting is
shipped in the "OFF" position, which utilizes the maximum rated capacity while most often achieving maxi-
mum salt efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State of California, you MUST turn this setting to the
"ON" position which may initiate more frequent recharges, however it will operate at 4000 grains per pound
of salt or higher.
If you wish to turn the Salt Efficiency feature "ON" ( icon will show in display), follow the instructions on
page 18.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The timer computer has a self-diagnostic function for
the electrical system (except input power and water
meter). The computer monitors the electronic com-
ponents and circuits for correct operation. If a mal-
function occurs, an error code appears in the timer
display.
The following chart (below) shows the error codes
that could appear, and possible defects for each
code.
While an error code is dis-
played, all timer buttons are
inoperable except for the
SELECT
button. SELECT
remains operational so the
service person can make the Manual Initiated
Electronic Diagnostics to further isolate the defect,
and check the water meter.

service: TIMER / SOFTENER, SERVICE CHECKOUT PROCEDURE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you are not getting soft water, and an error code is
not displayed, use the procedures below to find the
problem. First, make the following visual checks.
VISUAL CHECKS: (1) Is there electrical power to the
outlet the softener transformer is plugged into? (2)
Is there salt in the storage tank? (3) Is the plumbing
bypass valve(s) directing water for soft water serv-
ice? -see page 6- (4) Is the valve drain hose open
to the drain, not elevated too high, and unobstruct-
ed? If you do not find a problem with the visual
checks, continue below.
